As far as I am aware (with limited knowledge of cricket history) the following are bowlers who have been reported as chuckers in the past-
Sonny Ramadhin (West Indies) - Slow or spin bowler 8-)
Bishen Singh Bedi (India) - Slow or spin bowler :D

As a footnote, Eddie Gilbert, Queensland aboriginal fast bowler and the man Bradman said was the fastest he ever faced was also called for throwing several times despite having his action cleared by the best umpire in the land.

I think someone was called for throwing in the 1830s simply because he was bowling overarm.

Wasn't the first person to bowl overarm, in fact, a lady? I believe she had to as her dress got in the way of her bowling underarm.

David Gower bowled with great veriety, full tosses and long hops.

Don't know why he even bowled to get called for chucking.

I also heard somewhere that Bruce Yardley was once called for throwing (but not in an international). May have just been a rumour though.

As far as I know, Kyle Mills has never been reported.

I didn't know that Sonny Ramadhin had been called, but I do know that a lot of people had serious reservations about Wes Hall's action.
